The U.S. border state leading the battle against illegal immigration with unprecedented tough laws has received complaints from Mexicos government that too many Mexicans have been repatriated and the country is overwhelmed with demands for housing, jobs and schools.

Fed up with the devastating effect of illegal immigration, Arizona has enacted the nations toughest laws to curb the problem and evidently its working. State legislators have passed laws barring illegal immigrants from receiving government services, posting bail for serious crimes and winning punitive damages in lawsuits. This year a new law makes it illegal for businesses to hire undocumented workers and those that do can be shut down.

The state legislator who sponsored the work bill, Representative Russell Pearce, says the laws undeniably positive effects include smaller class sizes, shorter emergency room waits and an overall huge savings to taxpayers. The Republican congressman drafted the bill because studies revealed that illegal immigration cost Arizona taxpayers over $2 billion annually, not including the toll of crime and destruction.

It turns out that enough illegal immigrants have either fled the U.S. or been deported that officials in the Mexican state of Sonora, which shares an extensive border with Arizona, have complained that too many of their fellow countrymen have returned. They miss the remittances sent from the U.S. as well as smaller class sizes in local schools.

Mexican government officials knew Arizonas tough employment verification law would become their worst nightmare, which explains why they tried blocking it. Earlier this year a delegation of nine legislators from Sonora toured Tucson and held a news conference to say that their beloved state cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools resulting from illegal Mexican workers returning home.

One baffled Mexican legislator, Leticia Amparano Gamez, asked in Spanish how can they pass a law like this? She went on to explain that Mexico is not prepared for the tremendous problems it will face as more and more Mexicans working in Arizona and sending money to their families return to hometowns in Sonora without jobs. Another member of the Mexican delegation, Representative Florencio Diaz Armenta, asked what do we do with the repatriated?

If only they could find someone who can build houses cheaply. Or maybe they just need to fit a couple dozen extra people per house.

There are times when you couldn't make up stuff more apropos than reality.

This is one of them. ROTFLMAO

Welcome to our world Mexico. Just think how far ahead you would be if you had fixed your problems in the first place. These people would have stayed home, and you nation would have been all the better for it.

But just remember, those same illegals don’t create ANY kind of stresses or problems for OUR schools, government agencies, hospitals, etc. None, they’re pure asset to our communities. /pick any candidate for president

They must be learning how to apply Loony Liberal Logic. Whine, complain and blame others while ignoring the fact that you have caused the problem in the first place. Act like you have been wronged and an injustice has been done and before you know it government will repeal their evil rules and take even more of my money to give to you.

Liberals' next step: Pay Mexico for the burden WE have caused. (wanna bet?)

Any time I have a discussion with a liberal regarding Mexico, I lay the liberal crap right back in their lap and say something like: “Oh, Mexico should be SO ashamed of what it is doing to it’s people”.

Mexico has tremendous oil reserves, and a ton of mineral resources including silver and gold all over the place. Mexico also has some of the richest billionaires in the world. And Mexico has had a big inflow of money coming in to build plants after NAFTA was passed.

They could damn well afford to pay their own bills if they stopped playing political games, messing around between socialism and capitalism for the elite few.

Instead, they want to export their dysfunctional elements to the US and let us take care of the problem. I don’t know what it is; there’s nothing wrong with Mexicans as such. But their politics have been self-destructive for hundreds of years.

Complain to Mexico City..not Washington, or Phoenix!
We are NOT a multicultural society we are a Nation, not MexAmeriCanada!!

It's simple: Somebody in the legislature proposes it. Then, a majority of each house of the legislature votes in favour of it. Then the Governor signs it. At this point, it's THE LAW.

Arizona is a Republic; thats how things are done.

Mexico is supposed to be a republic. Instead, Mexico is a corruptocracy with communist tendencies. If Mexico were an honest republic, with rule of law and respect for the legitimate rights of the citizens, Mexico wouldn't have so many problems.

Ha....if all the US states would get tough like AZ, this problem would be over in less than a year. All the arguments about “how are we going to round up all the illegals”...”It’s not possible”...yada yada yada...

In less than one years time, this pathetic argument would be laughable. The Mexican government would probably be putting more border patrol agents on their side to keep the Mexicans from coming back across the border. They will start refusing US shipments of illegals that have been deported.

About time-----let's get this going nationwide.

They didn't seem concerned when that was, and still is, the problem facing many US communities with the massive influx of illegals from Mexico.
